How much punch do you need to make for 300 people?

The amount of punch you need to make for 300 people will depend on the size of the punch glasses you will be using and how much punch each person is likely to drink.

- If you are using 8-ounce punch glasses, you will need approximately 27 gallons of punch. This equates to 216 cups of punch.

- If you are using 12-ounce punch glasses, you will need to make approximately 36 gallons of punch, or 288 cups of punch.

You may also want to consider making additional punch in case more guests arrive than expected or some people want to have seconds.

Here is a recipe for approximately 27 gallons of punch:

Ingredients:

- 12 cups sugar

Instructions:

1. In a large pot or punch bowl, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool.
